Master in Data Science for Complex Economic Systems

Dear all, we very much regret to tell you that the master MADAS has been suspended since its curriculum is not in the current strategic priority of the Collegio. We are proud that our students applied successfully for international phd or data science positions in data driven companies all around the world. We are grateful to all the instructors and students that walked with us in this thrilling adventure. We will eventually come back with other activities. Stay tuned!

"The Tragedy of the Commons" is a tragic oversimplification.

New research by a team led by Yale microbiologist Sylvie Estrela (including SFI's External Prof M. Hochberg and Fmr Omidyar Fellows J. Van Cleve and E. Libby) adds space & time to social dilemmas, with very different outcomes.

From the press release:

'By accounting for the dynamics of the changing environment, the researchers revealed two layers of complexity absent from classic social dilemmas.

The first of these is spatial. Unlike simple social dilemmas that depict what Hochberg calls “perpetual interactions in a given space,” the new taxonomy allows bacteria to move from a hostile environment to a more friendly one."

The second layer is temporal, dealing with niche construction and evolutionary dynamics that play out over time. “The idea is that when we modify our environments, those modifications can be longer and more durable than our own lifetimes,” Hochberg explains. “The ecological inheritance of social behaviors will influence future conditions, but because of the complexity of the system, it is difficult to know just how."
